A first for me and I'm quite impressed with the outcome (airbrushing) belongs to my brother from his long time ago university days not getting it back lol

First up was the Bassday sugapen 120f top water done in colours that work for me predominantly white with a touch of lime or chartreuse

Did really well with this lure in plain white last year but couldn't resist adding a bit colour and lastly the tackle house feed popper 100 couldn't get hold of this particular colour in the 100mm so got a clear one and had a go at it myself original is pearl back orange belly l went for white back fluorescent orange belly hopefully the Bass take a shine to it

From now on lures that are looking at bit beaten up will be getting a bit of a face lift
better stock up on a few more colours
 
But my idea of sprucing up a lure is new rings if rusty and treble hooks, and if looking no good in the bin

Send them my way or to Itchy! I'll pay you something for them provided they can be successfully re purposed with a bit of tlc. Reduce, reuse, recycle.......why contribute to the throw away society?

I catch plenty on lures that have lost their original finish or been resprayed with simple rattle can paints btw

Most of my lures are only cheapo's anyway, and if i am getting rid, trust me they are well past it.(y)(y)

Annoyingly, the paint on SG Seekers sems to fall off now just looking at them. Another company taken over by Pure Fishing where the quality has sunk through the floor.
Remembered I've got an unused Airbrush kit in France - must remember to grab it next time we are over there.
 
They look good, looking forward to reading your catch reports.
